in the British Museum. 277 
stigma and nervures reddish, the stigma dark; marginal 
cell open at end, discoidal nervure represented by a stump. 
Anterior and middle legs ordinary, but hind femora strongly 
swollen basally. Abdomen fusiform, not very long. 
Epyris atavellus, sp. nu. 
A. Anterior wing. B. Base of antenna. C. Prothorax, 
D. Hind femur. 
Burmese amber, from R. C. J. Swinhoe. In a large slab, 
10 mm. from outer margin of obtuse corner of broader end. 
This appears to belong to that group of Hpyris which has 
sometimes been referred to Mesztius, but it is a smaller insect, 
with much longer prothorax, than H. deletus, Brues, from the 
Florissant Miocene. Hpyris, taken in the broader sense, is 
a very large genus, still abundant in most parts of the world, 
especially in tropical regions. ‘he larve are parasitic on 
Coleoptera. 
Ccophylla bartoniana, sp. n. (Formicidae). 
Anterior wing 12°3 mm. long. 
Marginal cell very narrow ; lower section of basal nervure 
longest ; submarginal cell with its apical angle about a right 
angle. The following measurements are in w :—Upper section 
of basal nervure 640; lower section of basal nervure 800; 
lower end of basal nervure to transverso-medial 1200; greatest 
depth of submarginal cell 1250, 
Bagshot Beds (Bartonian), Bournemouth (J. S. Gardner). 
British Museum, In. 19036. 
Very closely allied to @. perdita, Ckll., from the Oligocene 
at Gurnet Bay, but the transverso-medial nervure is much 
nearer the basal.
